Hoodoo Witching Time!

It's that time again, time for Webb Fest 7. This year the annual congregation of Webb Wilder fans is again taking place in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but not at the old venue of the Capitol Theater. The action will happen at a joint called The Warehouse. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Webb and his band in these new conditions, as they are the ideal bar band. It should freshen the experience.

The album Doo Dad, generally consider Webb Wilder's best, will be the focus of the night according to some reports. One song from that album though that I always look forward to hearing is "Hoodoo Witch". It's the only song I know that mentions the famous story by W.W. Jacobs titled "The Monkey's Paw", a classic ghost story. Give it a listen.
